My Favorite Go-To Snack, Side Dish, Appy, etc.

My favorite, most versatile dish/condiment to make is oven burst tomatoes. They are great with some crusty grain bread and fresh mozz, work well over pasta with a little grated parm, can be used as a topping for chicken and meat, oh the list goes on. And, they are so simple!! Sometimes simple really tastes the best.

Preheat broiler. Halve the larger tomatoes and place all of them in a bowl. Mix in olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper to taste. Toss until well coated. So pretty!

Spread on a baking sheet, throw on a few basil leaves and place under broiler. Cook until they start to burst and get some browning.

I love using these for lunch. Just top crusty bread (this pic is a big no-no for me these days, white french bread - eeek) with fresh mozz and top with tomatoes. Yummy!! Re-broiling turns this snack into a yummy french bread margarita pizza.
